Sessions are scheduled every Thursday from 10-noon, and limited to 10 climbers per session.

Cost is $12 per climber, which includes rental gear. 

Adults can spectate for free but are expected to stay and supervise kids under 14 at all times during Homeschool Climb Time. Due to our Covid precautions, sessions will be unstaffed until further notice. 

All new climbers and supervising adults will receive a thorough facility orientation and learn the basics of safety before climbing. Our front desk staff are always available to answer questions and provide encouragement during your climbing session as well!
